In August 1968, the four played together for the first time in a room below a record store on Gerrard Street in London. Page suggested that they attempt ” Train Kept A-Rollin’ “, originally a jump blues song popularised in a rockabilly version by Johnny Burnette , which had been covered by the Yardbirds. “As soon as I heard John Bonham play”, Jones recalled, “I knew this was going to be great … We locked together as a team immediately”. Before leaving for Scandinavia, the group took part in a recording session for the P. J. Proby album Three Week Hero . The album’s track “Jim’s Blues”, with Plant on harmonica, was the first studio track to feature all four future members of Led Zeppelin.
